Timothy Sedlak, a 43 years old man from Florida pleaded guilty on Thursday for attempted hacking of the Clinton Foundation. Sedlak was arrested in 2015 and according to the prosecutors, he launched about 390,000 unsuccessful attempts on the charitable organization's computer network. The police also discovered files of child pornography on his computer and he was sentenced to 42years of imprisonment, separately, by Orlando court

Describing himself as a private investigator, Timothy stated that he was searching whether charities were used to fund Islamic militant groups.

During the proceeding, the prosecutors did not mention the name of the New York-based charitable organization but Reuters managed to get a copy of the filing on February 3.
